Rockies 3, Scheffler 0: Colorado's social-media response after road sweep is hilarious
The Colorado Rockies are having a historically bad season and when they dropped to 9-50, they set the mark for worst start to a Major League Baseball season in the modern era (1901-present). They were also the third fastest to 50 losses.
When Scottie Scheffler won the Memorial for his third win in his last four starts, the memes were flying.

You probably saw a variety of versions of the same joke, that Scheffler had more mores wins than that sad sack of a baseball team did: "Wins since May 2: Scottie 3, Rockies 2."
Scottie Scheffler of the United States celebrates after making par on the 18th green to win the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday 2025 at Muirfield Village Golf Club on June 01, 2025 in Dublin, Ohio.
Well, the Rockies have clapped back. (You have to appreciate a good sense of humor).
After Colorado inexplicably finished off a three-game road series sweep on Wednesday – one that did come against another pitiful team, the Miami Marlins – the Rockies took to social media to make their point.
After all, it has been a whole two days since Scheffler won a PGA Tour event.

Teen girl testifies behind closed doors in Wander Franco trial in the Dominican Republic
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco appeared in court Thursday in the Dominican Republic in a sexual abuse case involving a teenage girl who testified behind closed doors. Prosecutors also privately disclosed audio and video related to the girl as evidence during the trial that began earlier this week. Franco's attorneys have argued that the evidence submitted by prosecutors has been manipulated and distorted. Little else was known about Thursday's proceedings because the press was not allowed in the courtroom for most of them. Franco, 24, faces charges of sexually abusing a minor, sexual and commercial exploitation against a minor, and human trafficking. The girl was 14 years old. He was having an All-Star season in 2023 before officials in the Dominican Republic began investigating allegations that he had been in relationship with a minor and had paid her mother some $17,000 for consent. The girl's mother was charged with money laundering and is under house arrest. Franco, who was charged in July 2024 and is on supervised release, could face up to 30 years in prison if found guilty. He is currently on Major League Baseball's restricted list after initially being placed on administrative leave. The trial is expected to continue on Friday.

PGA Tour rookie goes low to share Canadian Open lead
PGA Tour rookie Cristobal Del Solar and Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen each posted a nine-under-par 61 to share the first-round lead at the Canadian Open. Olesen and Chilean Del Solar took full advantage on Thursday of TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in the venue's PGA Tour debut. They own a one-shot lead over Cameron Champ. Jake Knapp is alone in fourth at seven-under 63. Shane Lowry of Ireland went out in five-under 30 on his way to a round of 64. He is tied for fifth with Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard and Trey Mullinax. The low Canadian for the day was Taylor Pendrith (65), who set the clubhouse lead in the morning wave before several players passed him by. Defending champion Robert MacIntyre of Scotland is among the several golfers knotted with him in eighth place at five under. Harrison Endycott (67) is the highest-placed Australian, while Aaron Baddeley made a 70. The only other Australian in the field, Karl Vilips, shot a three-over 73 and like Baddeley (tied 96th) will struggle to make the cut. Del Solar birdied 10 of his first 16 holes to pass Olesen for the outright lead and threaten a score of 59. However, he failed to get up and down from the bunker at the par-4 17th hole and took his only bogey of the day. He missed a 15-foot putt for birdie for the outright lead at No.18. Del Solar's claim to fame is a round of 57 he shot on the Korn Ferry Tour in February last year. It was the lowest round ever recorded in a PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament. Olesen, meanwhile, has eight wins on the DP World Tour but is seeking his first title in the United States. Two-time Canadian champion Rory McIlroy is in danger of missing the cut after shooting a one-over 71, which he ended with consecutive bogeys at Nos.8 and 9. The Northern Irishman is playing for the first time since a T47 finish at the PGA Championship.
